Spin-off of invention thread...

Original post by BMD'sPeanut

Do you remember your earliest experiences with the internet/email and cell phones?

I got my first cell phone as a gift for Christmas, 1996! I was definitely the first person I knew to have one...

My first job had internet access (also in 96) but it was only on one computer station..We also had email, but it never worked properly...

My next job (in 1998) had it on all computers...

Haha, in 1994, I missed ALL of 9th grade because I had mono...I racked up a 950 DOLLAR BILL ON AOL IN ONE MONTH!!!!!!!! My dad didn't get too mad because he knew I couldn't have friends over and I had been out of school for a good 5 months at that point, but what REALLY got him mad was when I gave some guy in Idaho my address and he would send me flowers every week. My dad was afraid of this guy showing up on my doorstep(he turned out to be only 14, also becuase my dad hunted him down and threatened his life and his parent's ) So that was one of my earliest experiences with the internet. But I think we had those prodigy message boards even before that, probably in 91 or 92.

oh my, I got my first cell phone when I got my fist job right out of HS, in 1991... IT WAS IN A FRIGGIN BRIEFCASE!!!!
I don't remember my first e-mail experience...I guess I wasn't too excited
